This is just the list of attendees though. The article talks about responses to survey questions as well which could give insight into how these elites really think.

But if the audio challenge is not for training and they know the right answer why are you able to pass it by typing something completely different but with some syllables in common? It seems to me either they only have a vague idea of what the right answer is or they are open to the AI being wrong and in future it will be adjusted by input they think is reliable because it’s sort of similar.

If you input text that doesn’t match the audio and they use this for training AIs, surely that will harm the training, no?

You can stick with Posteo and use email aliases for sites that don’t like it

Definitely. It would make life better in so many ways if everyone did this.

I heard Facebook was funding this in the US. Not sure if they’re responsible for it elsewhere too. It’s basically Five Eyes countries doing this, so you can bet it’s to do with their surveillance efforts. How do we stop it? First step is not to comply. Do not complete any age verification. If you are absolutely forced to, at least lodge complaints about it. If you are still required to, try to avoid giving any data, e.g. use a pre-recorded video of someone else or a videogame character to pass the age check. Second step is to use and support alternative platforms that avoid such measures.

Welcome to the resistance

Big difference between organizing a community online and being part of it in real life. Real life communities are the only real communities.

And those natural resources are used for what? Smartphones that addict and cause depression. Flock cameras that watch you and report to Palantir. Data centers that are used for AI propaganda and disinformation campaigns to manipulate our views. Chemicals that poison our crops and end up in our water sources. Modern industry is mostly bad for humanity.

It’s funny that this is posted in “A Boring Dystopia” and “Positive News”. What looks positive with narrow vision is often dystopian when taken to its conclusion.

I’m not complaining about the lack of upvotes, just I don’t see why it’s getting promoted to your front page

Weird. You can see they don’t have that many upvotes. It wasn’t my intention to spam anyone’s feed.

But I don’t see any of my posts on all. The most any of them has right now is 59 points, which is hardly a lot. And when I post them how would I know they are going to be popular and flood people’s feeds? I wasn’t expecting them to be very popular.

There’s lots of communities with the same purpose on different instances. Why shouldn’t I post to all those that apply?

Building community is being in bed with a laptop? Humanity is doomed.

Exactly

Thanks for the inside view. I never knew a lot of the survey takers came from mobile games or that spending could be tracked.

They’re already regulating social media…in all the wrong ways. Age verification is just the start.

They could have an AI tweak the statistics if they seem unrealistic
